Incumbent, Roland Affail Monney, has retained the Presidency of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) with a landslide victory in Friday’s polls.<\/p>\n
Despite expectations of strong competition from Lloyd Evans and Johnny Aryeetey prior to the elections, Monney swept to victory, garnering 310 of the 510 valid votes cast.<\/p>\n
Over 500 members of the GJA\u00a0cast their ballots at various polling centers across the country, lower than the over 650 votes that had been expected.<\/p>\n
The election was supposed to be held in March, 2017, but was postponed because of some unresolved disputes.<\/p>\n
